She has always defined herself with her powerful presence. Through the years, I have watched her excel not only as an artist but also as a woman, an advocate, and a voice for our community. With her 2024 album Encuentros, Becky revealed the depth of her artistry, blending her Mexican American heritage with a beautiful, modern sound and ­emotional storytelling in a way that feels both personal and universal. She has a rare gift for bridging cultures and making everyone around her feel seen. As a proud granddaughter of immigrants, Becky has not been shy about how her family’s experiences have shaped her. Whether she is being open regarding her own mental-­health struggles, equity for marginalized communities, or representation in music, nothing she does is performative. The world needs more energy like my friend Becky’s. _Gomez is an Emmy- and Grammy-­nominated actor and musical artist_ ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Article","@id":"https://time.com/collections/time100-next-2025/7318894/becky-g/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/collections/time100-next-2025/7318894/becky-g/"},"headline":"Becky G","datePublished":"2025-09-30T10:51:18.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-03T00:54:56.331Z","description":"","url":"https://time.com/collections/time100-next-2025/7318894/becky-g/","keywords":["TIME100 Next","sponsorshipblock"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltfb41bb78d06302f0/6998c9f7e1ba006abd98deca/t100-next-2025-becky_G.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Staff","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/time-staff/"}],"creator":"TIME Staff","articleSection":"World","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltfb41bb78d06302f0/6998c9f7e1ba006abd98deca/t100-next-2025-becky_G.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/world/","name":"World"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time100-next/","name":"TIME100 Next"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/collections/time100-next-2025/7318894/becky-g/","name":"Becky G"}}]}] ```
